Meta is rolling out an optional Scam Alert feature on WhatsApp that uses on-device machine learning to identify and flag suspicious messages targeting users. The feature builds on earlier scam detection capabilities Meta introduced for device linking requests on the platform. The machine learning model operates locally on users' devices rather than sending data to Meta's servers.
